Is this function differentiable at all points? z= abs(x) +abs (y) u need to find the partial derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no Wolfram it partial derivatives should be used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh right i forgot thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well its differentiable at some points no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like the answer is that its not differentiable at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but like it has its partial derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z=x+y x>0 & y>0 gradient:: <1,1> z=x-y x>0 & y<0 gradient:: <1,-1> hence it is dis continuous as gradient changes abruptly
